You can participate in a new kind of questions and answer session after the screening. Use congensus.com to upload your questions, then rate the questions of others related to this video. After two weeks, our panel will reply to the top rated questions and we'll e-mail everybody with a link to the invitation, the selected question(s) from the public, the respective replies from the panel and, starting a second round, an opportunity to upload more videos for follow up questions, comments, etc. This process will be followed a few rounds, demonstrating the possibility of a new kind of "group dialog", for the first time, permitting theoretically limitless numbers of people to "all talk at once", and yet to be heard, so as to reach a cogent consensus in unprecententedly rapid time (functionally real-time, when so applied). The expirimental open source system at congensus will be used to facilitate a large scale coherent dialog. Just sign up to participate.
